First 2000 days--Gross motor skills


Your baby should be confident, have self-esteem and is ready to learn. These skills begin in infancy. You can begin to develop your baby's confidence  by giving her tummy time . You should start  this when you bring the baby home. Tummy time: put your baby on her/his stomach for a few minutes  base on her /his . This allows the baby to  strengthen  her  arms, stomach muscles and  to practice  her development. As the baby gets older you should increase the time. Your baby will begin to first shuffle on her tummy.

When she  shows a sign of  frustration you should end the activity. Your goal is to have your baby accomplish a goal so do not let the activity become over whelming .You should also hold your baby upright allowing her to stand on her feet this will strengthen her  leg muscles. These activities also helps the brain to develop. When your baby begins to crawl around you should avoid using "NO" to your baby by creating a safe  space  that will allow your baby to explore freely. The word "NO"  inhibits your baby form exploring. Just imagine if some one keeps saying "NO" to you. Would you be  confident to try new things? You do not want to do that to your baby.



Reposted-- The next few days will be blogs that were posted a few years ago. I thought it was important to revisit these for the new subscribers.
